Since his IPL debut in 2017, left-arm yorker specialist Thangarasu Natarajan has owned the death overs, collecting 68 wickets in 63 bowling innings and leaving a trail of shattered stumps across six campaigns. Operating at a strike-rate of 20.03 balls per wicket, the Tamil Nadu speedster has conceded just 2,022 runs off 1,362 deliveries, translating to an economy of 8.91 despite bowling the toughest overs. Four times he has ripped through line-ups to claim three-wicket hauls, with a career-best 4-fer marking his ceiling so far. After five seasons with Sunrisers Hyderabad, Natarajan now brings his toe-crushing yorkers to Delhi Capitals for IPL 2025, ready to add fresh chapters to his wicket-packed story.

Ajinkya Rahane IPL journey spans 17 seasons, 183 innings and a mountain of 5,032 runs that have come off 4,025 balls at a brisk strike-rate of 125. The Mumbai-born right-hander has punished bowlers for 514 fours and 123 sixes, crossing fifty 33 times and reaching three figures on two memorable occasions, the highest being an unbeaten 105. After stints with Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Rising Pune Supergiant, Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings, he is back with Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2025. While Rahane has rolled his arm over only once in the league, picking up a solitary wicket in a six-ball cameo that cost five runs, he remains celebrated as one of the league’s most technically sound and consistent top-order batsmen.
